Candle Shop

I love candles and have participated in several swaps where I have accumulated quite a few candles. I also, in my packrat mode, have several of those gift bags with scenes on them. They were quite popular a few years back. I cut wallpaper for the ends, put up plexiglass to keep the bag solid. I haven't quite figured out what to do with the top, but so far the plexiglass keeps it clean. Like the way it looks so far.

Mary Englebreit Clock

I just love everything Mary Englebreit. I am stashing away items to do an entire house, but not quite there yet. I had this borning, nondescript grandfather clock. It made quite a drastic redo. I think it will be just perfect for the house when ready.

Tea Shop

I had a terrible time working on this hat box/tea time room. I've had it done a couple of times and now I think I have it right. It was TOO DARK. Added a light. Improvement, but not perfect. Then I decided the opening was TOO SMALL. Took everything out and then cut the opening larger, retrimmed it, then put everything back in its place. I'm happy with it now. You know the feeling when something isn't right, but you hate to tear it up. Sometimes you just have to. Enjoy. the pictures. The top pictures are after the Re-do. The lower ones show the smaller opening. I also decided I liked woman with the apron, standing instead of sitting.

Dressed Bed

I have been carrying this floral fabric around for years just knowing that I would find the perfect use for it. Well, finally I did. I thought it would make a perfect bedspread with gingham sheets and a flannel throw at the foot of the bed. Makes me want to take a nap.

Avon Minis

Several years ago Avon was selling miniature furniture. I thought it was really cute and decided to display it like a stacked box of gifts. Since the boxes were so little, I had to install lights so you can see the interior. Not terribly creative, just cute to look at.

Game Day

My sister had this cute little guy in a box for a daughter-in-law's garage sale. (It was a cake decoration) It is perfect 1 inch scale and I decided it would make a great scene. Put a Chief's game on the big screen TV. The food is ready and we're just waiting on the others to show up and watch the game.
